Rocket rattle

The rattle part is created by putting lentils (or rice, dry beans etc) inside a mini m&ms tube. You then crochet a cover to make the tube look like a rocket with an intrepid penguin astronaut peering through the window.

This pattern uses a 3.5 mm hook green, purple, black, white, orange and blue 8 ply wool. The pattern is written in American crochet notation and the finished rocket is 14 cm tall.
